iamnomad , Can i be registered as an enrolled nurse instead beacause i dont have the financial capacity to support my bridging program fees and stuff. I also heard that MY RN DEGREE is equivalent to a AUSTRALIAN DIPLOMA which is a qualification of an enrolled nurse.

According to AHPRA:

I have a qualification as a registered nurse in my country. If it is not assessed as an equivalent qualification to register as a registered nurse in Australia, can I apply for registration as an enrolled nurse instead?

The qualification requirements for registration as an enrolled nurse are different to those of a registered nurse. Your registered nurse qualification is unlikely to meet the requirements of an enrolled nurse. You can find out more about the specific*requirements for enrolled nurses on the National Board website.

Lucky. Is that the case for all PH grads with SG nursing experience?

not really i guess because i knew few nurses in my hospital did bridging program in late 2012, and i'm not too sure if years of work experience matters.

there's few of us now working on our ahpra applications so we'll see if we all be exempted as well.

This is so frustrating. My deadline is on May 11! I completed all the required documents last March 25 yet I haven't receive any response from ahpra!

Have a lil prob gett'n hold of my good standing here.. (Currently working-middle east) whew! Very difficult to process my application while working outside phils... Especially with the new set of requirements... For those people applying from outside phils (eg. Middle east)... I didnt apply for any agency to help me on my application.. I did it independently... It saves you from spending cash... You can actually do it by yourself... At first... I was hesitant because i cant imagine myself able to comply all those docs ( well almost! Gett'n there)...
